I Just Stood there

by Megan   Jul 17, 2006


It all happened so fast...
One minute you were standing
Right in front of me smiling...
And then the next laying
In the ditch covered in blood...

I had you back...
But you were
Instantly takin
Away from me!

I ran to your side...
Screaming for you
To move, speak, something...
And when you didn't
I pulled you into me
Arms and held you
Close to me as I
Began to cry, and
As every bit of
Me was ripped apart
Inside...you were gone...

I had you back...
But you were
Instantly takin
Away from me!

As he stumbled over
To see what he
Had done to you
The rage consumed me...
I jumped up and
Let all my pain
And frustration out
On him and he
Fell down to the
Ground bloody...
In his drunken state
He couldn't fight back

I had you back...
But you were
Instantly takin
Away from me!

I fell back down
Upon your body...
Stroking your face...
Begging you to move...
As the paramedics
Came I was preyed
Off your body...
Two fingers were extended to your
Neck to feel for
Your nonexistent pulse...
I said nothing when
They told me that
There was no hope...

As it began to rain
I just stood there
Starring straight at
The spot I was just
Holding your cold body...
My friends were all
Crying, even though
This was their first
Time ever seeing you...
And i just stood there
No expression on my face...
No tear in my eyes...
No sign of remorse...
I just stood there...
